Different types of blocked fallopian tubes

Female reproductive system has muscular tubes
with the lining of delicate hair-like structures
called the fallopian tubes. Working in both
directions, this hair help an egg to gain
motility and travel from the ovaries to the womb
(uterus), as well as help sperm, come up from
womb. Fimbriae are the finger-like structures
where each fallopian tube ends. The fimbriaes
role is to catch and guide an egg after the ovary
releases it. The fallopian tube being located
near most of the fertilized eggs plays an
important role in conception. In case of damage
of any part of the fallopian tube, let's say by
an infection or surgery, the scar tissue blocks
them and it may lead to infertility. The type
of fallopian tube blockage depends on the root
cause of the blockage and location of occurrence.
It can be found out with the help of certain
medical screenings. Its types are-

1. Distal Tubal occlusion - This type of blockage
   occurs when the fallopian tube is obstructed at
   the end, which is closest to the ovary. Usually,
   it happens as an after effect of a sexually
   transmitted disease Chlamydia Trachomatis. This
   medical condition is even termed as hydrosalpinx.
2. Mid-segment blockage - This type of blockage
   occurs in the midsection of the fallopian tube.
   It might happen due to any operation or
   infection, as this area is more susceptible to
   tubal ligation damage.
3. Proximal Tubal Occlusion - This blockage occurs
   due to an infection, inflammation or complexity
   from a past abortion, miscarriage or even a
   pelvic inflammatory disease(PID).In such
   blockages, the ending of the tube, which is close
   to the uterus is obstructed.
4. Chronic Salpingitis - It is a consequence of any
   inflammation or a microbial infection in the
   fallopian tube. If the infection isnt treated
   properly, it develops acute salpingitis, in which
   the inner walls of the fallopian tube get stuck
   and turn red and inflated, ultimately causing
   irreversible damage to the tubes.

• 5. Hematosalpinx - It a medical condition in
  which the fallopian tube starts bleeding,causing
  the build-up of blood clots inside the tube
  eventually leading to blockage.
• 6. Pyosalpinx - In such type of blockage, the
  fallopian tube is entirely filled and usually
  swollen with pus.
• Hydrosalpinx- It is a condition in which some
  serious or clear fluid is filled inside the
  fallopian tubes. The obstruction may become
  inflated, giving it a shape like that of a
  sausage. Such condition eventually leads to the
  blockage of the tubes at the ends.
• Blocked fallopian tubes can possibly be
  opened with the help of surgery. Although, it
  totally depends on the position of blockage and
  the extent of scarring.
